Camp Visits with Local Youth Professionals
Over the past few weeks, Federation teamed up with the Foundation for Jewish Camp to bring local Jewish educators, youth professionals, and rabbis to visit camps in the Greater Washington area. One camp does not fit all, so visitors had the opportunity to see the many options and varieties for local youth to make lifelong Jewish connections during the summers.
